Paterson, NJ
3pm Friday, July 25 to 11am Sunday, July 27
Join Sensei Genki along with Sensei Genro Gauntt
for a trek into a different kind of wilds – the streets
of Paterson. On Friday, we will sit zazen with Genki
and Genro at the zendo, then go home for the
night. We’ll be back at the zendo early Saturday morning to sit until
the afternoon.
Then we will leave all but our ID card at the Zendo and plunge into
the life and streets of Paterson with just the clothes on our back and
the pavement as our beds. We will eat in soup kitchens and beg for
money or food at times when soup kitchens are not open. We will
sleep outdoors or in abandoned housing, though not in shelters since
there are not enough beds. We don’t say we’re homeless; we’re
simply living on the streets for 24 hours, relying on the generosity of
the streets to take care of us. We will sit zazen and hold circles.
This is a powerful practice of not-knowing and bearing witness,
where the unpredictable life on the streets is the main teacher.
You can read more about street retreats.
The Zendo will be open to retreat participants only.
Fee: $108/members; $132/non-members.
